⁷ Then the king declared to the man of God, “Come home with me, refresh yourself, and I’ll give you a reward.”^(A)

⁸ But the man of God replied, “If you were to give me half your house,^(B) I still wouldn’t go with you, and I wouldn’t eat food or drink water in this place, ⁹ for this is what I was commanded by the word of the Lord:^(C) ‘You must not eat food or drink water or go back the way you came.’”
